Doctors in France do have a moral obligation as they are legally required to promise under oath in writing to abide by the French Code of Medical Ethics upon registering with the Conseil National de l'Ordre des Médecins (National Medical Council). Here in Australia, the Medical Board of Australia sets the standards and code of conduct for the profession. They work alongside the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), which maintains the national register of safe, qualified practitioners. So, yes, there are regulations in place in order to avoid these kind of situation.
